The 'day was ideal one for an out­ ing and a large number took advan­ tage of the opportunity to attend, the church being well filled for the opening of the session. Mrs. A. W. Gardiner, of Londes- boro, president, occupied the chair and Mrs. McKenzie, of Egmondville and Mrs. McDonnell, of Hensail led in the worship period. Mrs. (Rev.) C. W. D. Cosens, wife of the convention church, gave the address of welcome, speaking of the value of such fellowship in the work and the inspiration given workers the comradeship afforded. (Mrs. W. P. Lane, of Seaforth, replied in like strain, also stressing the value of good comradeship in the work of the Kingdom. The roll call was gone through, Mrs. Greer, of Wingham, calling the roll of Auxiliaries. There are 1800 members in the W M. S. Auxiliaries in the Presbytery. Brucefield Auxil­ iary reported every member as giv­ ing systematically. <Mrs. G. W. Layton, of Exeter, call, ed the roll of Mission Circles, re­ porting a membership of 257. Dur­ ing the year a number have been promoted to Evening Auxiliaries. .She suggested that greater care be given to sending in of reports and that the secretary should work with the treasurer in making out these re­ ports. Miss Mabel Baillie, of Goderich, called the C.G.I.T. roll reporting a good membership and live groups. Mrs. Wellwood, of Wingham, re­ ported for the Mission Bands, 29 bands being in existence, three new last year, with a membership of 803, an incrase of 75. Mrs. F. G.

Mrs. Wightman reported 93 5 sub­ scribers to the Missionary Monthly, 379 to the World Friends, and urged that an effort be made to increase subscriptions. Miss Lawrence sent a report of the work of the literary secretary, which was read. )Mrs. Gowdy, of Wroxeter, associate helpers’ -secretary, urged the secur­ ing of new members to replace those who are passing on. Mrs. Moorhouse, Brussels, tem­ perance secretary, urged more atten­ tion to the work of teaching of tem­ perance and advised that a temper- Last year Speedway made friends right across Canada.

Mrs. Crowe, Dominion President, had advised members to use their franchise to make known their principles in this matter. Miss J. Murray, Exeter, press se­ cretary, said she reported the Pres­ byterial meetings to all county pap­ er,, also to the Conference branch secretary, and the south section to the local paper. Mrs. Laidlaw, strangers, secretary sent a report of her work. The treasurer’s report gave total receipts for 1933 as $14,284.57. The allocation for 1934 is $20,7'00.

The afternoon session commenced at 1.45, Mrs. G. Lane and Mrs. Stra­ chan conducting the devotional ex­ ercises. The first speaker was Mrs. Childs of London, who spoke on “The Com­ ing Kingdom”, delivering a very in­ spirational address. Beginning at the birth of 'Christ she pictured His childhood with the dawning of the knowledge of the great work ahead and the endeavor later on to impart some of these deep spiritual realiza­ tions to his followers. .She likened the Christian life to leaven of bread, it works with great uniformity; there are no divisions amongst Christians, nationally, race color should make none. She spoke of the wonderful contri­ bution some foreigners are making to our national life and the keen in­ telligence of a great many of these people, upon whom we are apt to look down a little. This is out of place amongst Christians, however. She told of a group of New Cana­ dians who were asked how we could help them. The answer "was, “by being more considerate.” Another said: “In God alone is unity.” A committee appointed to study the likeness amongst the races is com­ posed of a Roman Catholic Priest, a Jewish Rabbi, and an Anglican Bi­ shop. She thought this significant, that they were going to search for the things in common, not for differ­ ences. China is facing a crisis, it is either Communism or Christian adds great­ ly to the Church’s difficulties, but we should welcome difficulties. 1912 China became a republic but it is still in a state of confusion, with no settled central government. She did not agree with something Mrs, Childs said about the widsom of allowing the young to take the lear, In China this did not work out. Canadians complain about the way they are tax­ ed, but in China the people are tax­ ed twenty-five years in advance. •She spoke enthusiastically about the Women’s Hospital in Chentu, where they have 90 beds and only 5 doctors. The training school for the nurses in this hospital, she claimed, was second to none. .Some people criticized the educational and med­ ical work in China , but she said evangelistic work could best be car­ ried on in connection with medical and educational work. Dr. Kilborn went to China in 1894 being the first medical missionary sent to the field by the W. M. S. She spoke of the improvements in that time. Foot­ binding now illegal, not only so, but it is out-of-date, unfashionable, it is no longer done, except in out of way places. ■ All doors in China are now open to missions, she declared, all that is needed are funds and work­ ers. There is more maney spent in Canada in cigarettes and cosmetics, than in missionary work, she said. Rev. C. .Malcolm, of Egmondville, brought greetings from the Presby­ tery, which was meeting the same( day. In the course of his remarks he asked the co-operation of the W. M. S. in the Summer Camp project in which the Presbytery has invest­ ed. Mrs. P. Hearn, of Clinton, then sang a well appreciated solo. Rev. C. W. D. Cosens dedicated the new officers to their work. The Clinton Mission Bands gave very interesting little exercises and a bible drill. A minute of silence was observed in memory of those who had passed on during the year of whom there were fifty-two. Special mention was made of the sad drowning accident, recently, in which Ernest Penrose, son of Rev. Mr. Penrose, formerly of Varna, lost his life. Mrs. Lang reported for the resolu­ tion committee, expressing the thanks of the delegates for the hospitality received, for the use of the church, the good dinner provided and to all those who has taken part in the pro­ gram and to the retiring officers for their faithful work during the past year. Ai nominating committee was ap­ pointed as follows: Mrs. Travener, Lucknow; Mrs. Warren Brock', Gran­ ton; Mrs. Robt. Shaw, Bluevale and (Mrs. W. A. Bremner, Bruqefield. Auditors: Mrs. McKenzie, Goder­ ich; Mrs. Lane, Seaforth. The choos­ ing of an executive committee was left to the officers. Delegates to the Branch Meeting in June are: Mrs. Erratt, Goshen; Mrs. iMcIllmaine, Lucknow; Mrs. Cooke, Hensall: Mrs. F. Thompson, Londesboro. The next meeting will be held in Main Stret Church, Exeter. Ontario Street, Church, Clinton, has invited the Presbyterial for 193 6 the tenth anniversary of the inaug­ ural. The ladies of the Wesley-Willis congregation provided dinner for the delegates, also for the members of the Presbytery, which was meeting in the Ontario Street Church on the same day. The first requirement of the investor, particularly the small investor, is assured safety; income yield is of lesser importance. That is why so many hundreds of thou­ sands of Canadians regard their savings deposits in this bank as the best type of investment. The income may not be so attractive as the promised yield of certain securities, but it is sure and steady, while the principal itself is safe and always remains at full face value.

Christian work­ ers are too apt to stop short of the goal. -She thought a new standard of life was needed. Material things have taken too high a place in the life so far. Our possessions are not our own while others are in sore need. She concluded with the story of “Big Bill Davidson,” who was sent on a commission of great dan­ ger during the war and told that it must be executed “at all cost.” He executed his work and came back to the base, his plane crashing near it, from which his lifeless body was taken, his hands still grasping ’the wheel. He had executed his super­ ior’s orders, at the cost of his life. (Mrs. H. C. Lawson contributed a very appropriate solo very sweetly “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say.” Dr. Retta Gifford-Kilborn, for many years a missionary in W. China was the second speaker and she told many instructive and inspiring things about her work there and the situa­ tion. In the province of Szechwan, West China, there are sixty million of people, ten millions of whom the United Church of Canada have the responsibility, and there are also many millions in Honan and Canton, Dr, Kilborn said the work of the United Church was like the British Empire, upon it the sun never sets, ANNUAL MEETING The Huron County Branch of the Associated High School Boards, held their second annual meeting in the Council Chamber, Clinton on Wednesday evening, May 2nd. Col. H. T. Rance, chairman of the organ­ ization, gave an address of welcome also outlined the year’s ac/tivities and referred to the co-operation with the Municipal and County Councils. A. T. Cooper, of Clinton who attened the Provincial Conven­ tion of the Association which was held in Toronto, early in JMarch gave a summary of '£he proceedings and a general discussion followed on the subjects introduced. Vocational training and a more practical program for students not contem­ plating the University were topics of special interest, while the teach­ ing of agriculture, Domestic Science and Business practice were consid­ ered essential in all Secondary schools. The school boards have been making on honest effort to re­ duce the cost of Secondary educa­ tion, without sacrificing effeciency and lowering standards, and their results have been gratifying to the Council. The officers selected for coming year are: chairman, Col. H. T, Rance; vice chairman, Dr, iJ. W. ■Shaw and secretary, a. t. Cooper, all of Clinton.
